The Hollywood Read ep. 21

With Game of Thrones airing its final season, we are on the cusp of losing a long-time tradition: the watercooler TV show. This week, we discuss Thrones–no spoilers, don’t worry–and what it means for television and pop culture to lose “watercooler” shows and the communal TV experience. What will replace it? Anything? With streaming bifurcating more than ever, it doesn’t seem likely this phenomenon will return for a while. Join us as we discuss the end of a television era and ponder the future of the medium in a post-watercooler world.
